I’m trying to perform a record.submitFields against a custom field on an Inventory Status record, but I always get “Unexpected Error”.  The stack trace always points to “Object.submitFields” as the culprit.  Anybody ever experience this or know of a workaround (other than loading the record to set the value)?

So it turns out that this only fails for custom fields.  However, if you include a standard field in the same submitFields call, it works.  Even stranger, if you include ANY field value that does not start with ‘custrecord’ (even if the field does not exist) then the submitFields will be successful.  Strange!
